THE CHAMBER COMPLEX FOR THE LITTLEWOOD-RICHARDSON COEFFICIENTS OF GL4. EMMANUEL BRIAND, MERCEDES ROSAS, AND STEFAN TRANDAFIR The Li lewood-Richa dson coe icien s cν λ,µ a e a amily o cons an s o cen al impo ance in ep esen a ion heo y.

I is known ha when he size o he pa i ions is limi ed o some ixed in ege N(coe icien s associa ed o GLN), hese coe icien s a e gi en by piecewise polynomial o mulas in λ1,...λN, µ1, . . . , µN, ν1, . . . , νN−1. Mo e p ecisely, he do- mains o polynomiali y a e he big cells (”chambe s”) o a subdi ision o a cone in R3N−1( he ”chambe complex”). In 2005, ´ E. Rassa has calcula ed explici ly he chambe complex o N= 3, inding 18 chambe s subdi iding a cone in R8, and he co esponding polynomial o mulas (in his case, linea ). Using Rassa ’s desc ip ion, E. B iand and M. Rosas ecen ly lis ed exhaus i ely all symme ies o he chambe complex o N= 3, inding a g oup o 288 symme ies (much mo e ha he 24 symme ies known o exis o gene al N). I is na u al o look a wha happens in he nex case, N= 4. Wi h his aim, we ha e compu ed (using Sagema h and Singula ) he chambe complex o N= 4. This objec is la ge, since i consis s in he subdi ision o a cone in R11 in 67769 chambe s. This compu- a ion is based on known combina o ial desc ip ions o he Li lewood-Richa dson coe icien s.
